Sinister: 10 Roddington Place: Reporting Back
by Peter Miller 26 Jul '04

26 Jul '04

On the way through the London 1 AM rush hour in the Mooromobile on the way to Chez Sister Disco last Saturday night, Mooro suddenly answered a question I had asked him six months ago. And somehow that really impressed me. It reminded of like what when The Pinefox suddenly starts replying to posts from 1997. We had been to see Belle and Sebastian at Somerset House, and we all agreed that they were more betterer at the exclusive Real Fans Only gig at the Islington Academy. Mooro didn't even bother getting a set-list. I saw Kenneth P. Chu with a massive plant pot sized pint of lager. He looked very happy. It was a bit like a scene from Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men. There were hardly any twee people. There was hardly any dancing. On his way out, Carsmile was brandishing some kind of glow-in-the-dark radioactive anal probe. Before the gig I went to the pub where I met some listees past and present. They seemed like a nice bunch. Warrander John came, but I didn't recognise him because his glasses seem to have grown. I didn't recognise Lucy either at first. Cabbage knocked someone's pint over with his arse. The Pinefox talked to me about Lloyd Cole's forthcoming comeback. I walked over Waterloo Bridge with Lixi. Before the gig I went round the back to try and get Stuart's autograph, but when they came out the bouncers put some big fences across so I couldn't get to him. One bloke told him not to play his new single because it's shite, so Stuart flicked him the vees. Another bloke, possibly under the influence of plant pots of beer, squealed in excitement. All in all it was like a cross between The Beatles at Shea Stadium and Polanski's 'The Pianist', with me in the Adrian Brody role. I am glad they did Mooro's request, but I think they should have worked it out beforehand. Watching people work stuff out is not very interesting, unless it is 'Être et Avoir', which I haven't seen anyway. What with working songs out and Stuart's philosophical monolgues it sometimes felt like being trapped in Jean-Luc Godard's nouvelle vague masterpiece 'One Plus One'. Actually it was very good. All that was missing was The Brunetties. I am just trying to make it sound bad to cheer up all the poeple who couldn't go. After the gig, Mooro's gaydar was in good working order, as he swiftly spotted the big predatory lesbian manager from 'Footballer's Wives'. I saw her kissing a man, so maybe she has been cured. It was probably my presence that did it. Sunday was similar, only no Mooro :-( I thought the performance was better and there were fewer drunks. I didn't see Robin Stout. For a moment I thought the Brazillian chap dancing on stage *was* Jordi. It was like the 'Puttin' On the Ritz' scene from 'Young Frankenstein'. My attempts to get pulled up on stage came to nought. I enjoyed watching the security staff dither when asked to help heave indie kids up onto the very high stage though. I mean, I just wonder what the insurance postion would be if they did their backs in giving a leg-up to a rhythmically challenged heffalump from Basingstoke? We haven't had much Reporting Back from Australia.

Sinister: Re: Grrr!

<< My emails aren't becoming posts.... What the hell is going on! idles >> Maybe Aunt Sadie doesn't recognise your name and has been stealing your letters and using them to line the cat litter tray or something. You know how she is sometimes. Try posting under one of your real names - retrosec or idleberry - and she might be less confused. It's a bit like Eminem, Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers. Sadie always gets confused between them, too. Why they keep on posting letters to her house, I don't know. Hoping to steal some reflected celebrity, perhaps. << >the rest of it was a bit crap really...there was a Blondie tribute >band called Brunettie (I kid you not) That was my band. Thanks for the support. Don't be so miserable, everyone loved us and it's just some fun. We get people dancing and we love playing this music just as much as playing our own songs. We actually make money from this band and yeah so what if that's a sell out. PS. Bowlie rocks and I don't care if you all can't stand even the mention of the name. >> Nice to see a bit of bitching on a Sunday night. Sure beats the Antiques Roadshow... though, hold on a moment.. five thousand pounds for a pair of candlesticks?! Who'd have thought it? Who is Bowlie? Hester, telling it how it is, continued: << I understand large numbers of people don't have a lot of time for Your Cover's Blown, seeing it as some kind of sell-out or whatever, but I really like it. >> Yeah, it's great. Sounds kind of grubby and debauched, well, for belle and sebastian anyway. Most people I've spoken to about it quite like it, anyway. I think it's certainly the best EP since I'm Waking Up To Us. Legal Man is awful. bye! ROBIN X _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

Sinister: the kids are pairing off in front of me
by Mark Hester 25 Jul '04

25 Jul '04

Hi everyone, I'm feeling a bit under the weather today. I have a bad cough and just don't feel like going out or doing anything remotely strenuous. If things don't improve I might have to give work a miss tomorrow, which is a pain coz I've been out of the office for a couple of days on a course and also coz I'm supposed to be selling tickets for our Summer Party (which is this Friday) and it's not exactly helpful that there'll be locked in my cupboard where no-one can get them. I started to feel unwell last night at the Pleasure Unit at Bethnal Green. It was an all-dayer organised by our sister/rival (delete to taste) forum Bowlie, and/but (ditto) there were lots of sinisters there, including Dimitra Daisy, Dirty Vicar, Rener, Paul Healy, Annie Tremp and Stefano. The venue was incredibly hot and although I enjoyed the two bands I'd really gone to see (Language of Flowers and Wintergreen) and chatting to the aforementioned people the rest of it was a bit crap really...there was a Blondie tribute band called Brunettie (I kid you not) and I can only recall one song played by the djs which made me inclined to check out the band in question (A Certain Smile, which I have been unable to find on google). Dimitra gave me a little booklet of Friends of the Heroes writing which has been lifting my spirits somewhat on this damp and dreary afternoon, but I can't help thinking about something that has been making me sick with worry over the past week, for which, read on. I'm really worried about a friend of mine called Ruth who was supposed to be accompanying me to the Somerset House gig last Sunday. At about four o'clock that afternoon I receieved a text message from her to say that she was unable to come as she was in hospital under observation. I tried to ring her back but was unable to as her phone was by then switched off (you're not supposed to have mobiles switched on in hospital anyway) and as I don't know anyone else who knows her - we met via Idelberry's Corduroy Smoke yahoo group - I have been unable to find out any more info. I tried calling at her house on Monday and yesterday but there was nobody in. I can only hope that she has recovered now and that I'll hear from her soon....arrghhhh. I totally agree with what Emma Cooper said about gigs in US bars. Making gigs over 21 only is an incredibly stupid thing to do. Fortunately the main venue here in Oxford has a more enlightened attitude, with quite a few gigs which are 16+ or even 14+, which start really early (which means they can slot in a club nite afterwards). I understand large numbers of people don't have a lot of time for Your Cover's Blown, seeing it as some kind of sell-out or whatever, but I really like it. Even if you don't like the style of the song, he lyrics are still up there (the 'houses' and 'mouses' couplet notwithstanding). I've had it on repeat on the stereo and have been humming it everywhere. Legal Man was *as big* a departure from the band's previous work, but I don't recall that causing so much fuss (although that might be just my bad memory, maybe a trawl through the archives is in order).
